RECYCLED POLYESTER

-64%

Polyester (PET) is the most widely used fiber in the apparel industry, accounting for approximately 52% of the total volume of fibers produced globally. Currently, only 14% of this is made from recycled content, even if recycled polyester has a significantly lower carbon fo otprint than its conventional counterpart. To keep the industry on track toward its climate targets, Textile Exchange has launched the “2025 Recycled Polyester Challenge”, which has a long-term vision of bringing the percentage of recycled polyester up to 90% by 2030 1 .
